Institution: Biblical Archaeology Society (BAS)
Every year, the Biblical Archaeology Society (BAS), publisher of Biblical Archaeology Review magazine, compiles a listing of dig opportunities for volunteers at http://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/digs . Participating in an archaeological excavation is a unique and exciting way to experience history firsthand. For almost five decades, BAS has been connecting volunteers with the opportunity to participate in some of the most exciting archaeological excavations in the Near East. A wide variety of people take part in our featured digs, and individuals of many different ages, backgrounds, and cultures have come together to share the thrill of discovery.
Dozens of archaeological digs in Israel, Jordan, and elsewhere are looking for volunteers to help them excavate history. Whether you’re interested in exploring the worlds of Kings David and Solomon, walking in the footsteps of Jesus and the apostles, or working in an ancient Phoenician city, we’ve got an archaeological dig for you. For each dig, we provide an in-depth description, including location, historical and biblical significance, and the goals for the upcoming season.
This year, BAS will also offer dig scholarships of $2,000 each to people who wish to participate in a dig and demonstrate sufficient need. The scholarship program (http://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/digscholarship) is open to all, but applications from first-time volunteers are especially welcome. The deadline for applications is Friday, March 22, 2024. To learn more and apply, please visit: BAS 2024 Dig Scholarships (wufoo.com).
